Job Description:

Would you like a career that makes a difference? Could you support adults with a learning disability to live a life that makes sense to them?

We are seeking dedicated, resilient, and enthusiastic people to join our fantastic team in Manchester to support Diane at her own home, covering shift patterns 24 hours, 7 days a week with full-time or part-time jobs. Could you be one of her Support Workers?

Intrigued to know more?

Let us introduce you to Diane*: she is fun-loving and has a zest for life. She loves animals, going for drives, walking along the beach, and meeting new people. Diane uses her behaviour to communicate her needs and wishes, and is autistic.

At times, Diane's way of communicating can be a challenge for those supporting her, but we work together to build on her positive and alternative communication skills and find ways, using MacIntyre’s Positive Behaviour Support framework, to improve the quality of her life. You will work alongside an experienced Frontline Manager and Senior Support Worker.

When you join us, we'll provide full free training, and you'll have access to a range of great benefits including the Blue Light discount card.

About you

We welcome you if you've been a care assistant or support worker, but experience isn’t necessary. If you share our values, are warm, friendly, and willing to learn, you’re likely to be a great fit. We’re looking for people who celebrate differences, and we strive to make all our staff feel included, valued, and respected.

You may be interested in this role if you would like to build a career in the field of autism or learn more about positive behaviour support (PBS).

You must be a driver with a manual licence and have held your Licence for at least 1 year.

We were founded in 1966 by the visionary parent of a child with disabilities and have been growing steadily ever since. We celebrate and develop everyone’s unique gifts, talents, and contributions.

Training and Development

At MacIntyre, we fully support your training and development. We know it can be daunting to start a new job, and not everyone learns the same way, so throughout your probation we will provide you with a mixture of eLearning, face-to-face training, and mentoring support whilst on the job.

But it doesn't stop there - throughout your career with us, you will have access to our own dedicated in-house Learning and Development team, Quality Specialists, and HR Teams. These teams, along with your Manager, will provide you with opportunities to learn and develop professionally as well as enabling and supporting you to achieve professional qualifications and career progression opportunities - all free of charge.
